Tea Plantations near Tzaneen, Limpopo Province

I am now totally blogging out of sequence, but I am a bit tired of blogging about Kruger.

After Kruger I drove through Tzaneen a town of the Limpopo Province often described as "a large tropical garden town". In fact you could really grow anything at all in Tzaneen. In the hills around the towns I have seen: banana, mango, macadamia, sugar cane plantations and also tea plantations. Unfortunately the tea plantations are not run commercially anymore but luckily they have not been uprooted so here are a few photos.



These are the three leaves picked during harvest.

The tree plant is a camellia plant it is Camellia sinensis.
